He also grew up in the same neighborhood as Calvin Klein and The Mascahrelli Family aka Marshall. He was very smart. He knew that he had to work very hard for his, and to get recognized as an American Designer especially since at that time european desingers were more successful. He kept his name and also used people of color along with Calvin Klein did. He also stayed married to his wife which is very hard epecislly when you are in the arts.
I’m inspired because mr Lauren is my number 1 fashion designer 👩🎨 ever second to Georgia Armani my brand is coming i will make a name for myself in the fashion world 🌎
I know big designers don't actually normally design the clothes, but that guy said "he deserves the credit" for someone else's designs is B.S. It's similar to some of those music producers, who just put their names to music that was made by someone else. The guy is brilliant and I love the brand, he was a driven businessman
I agree Keith. I have no doubt that Ralph is innovative, but he’s ultimately the face of the brand. The team behind him is truly doing the actual work - the early mornings, the late nights, the effort and the sacrifices - all of that is done by the worker bees. Just because Ralph says, make the plaid on the shirt black instead of grey, or change the lapel on this jacket to be a little narrower, doesn’t mean he actually designed the clothes. He just simply modified the design that was already completed by someone else’s vision.
The most favorite and outnumbered fashion brand in my closet, since the beginning with a Polo T shirt (instead of the Lacoste, that I'd seen quite old and controversial at the time).😍 Since then, I always look for the Polo stuff to buy till now.☺ The design not only nice, but so fit with variety of choices for buyers, and best quality vs the reasonable price. 👍What could be better than that! Well done, Ralph and please keep doing so! 👏
I guarantee if you buy a few RL outfits today you could wear them in 20 years because they will never go out of style. My mother who worked for Brooks Brothers taught me that years ago.
I love this guy, he's a good Chaps! (This is a code for confortable clothing without the label pay...And its build by Raplh - licensing is a thing, but they keep the quality - but yes Polo is Cotton 100%, high treads and very confortable, but Chaps, with this 40/60 mix polyester and cotton, we got something. Ralph was very good at making very nice clothing CONFORTABLE and LUX. Workers at Ralph Lauren are gods).
Oh , no, not at all. So many very successful people come from very poor backgrounds, and i think that it is a plus that gives them more ambition and drive to succeed!
@jwjeieikwnwwn how interesting, and I have been there to Minsk. It was a very eye opening and learning experience !! Lauren comes from royalty so he isn't from the peasant class at all. Strictly top drawer!
I swear that i can make top seller and the wealthiest man earth once again , all what i need it s a shot just visa sponsorship that s it dear Ralph Lauren 👑🙏🏿
This is deep and thoughtful material. A book I read with similar concepts was a major influence on me. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight
Top! Il s est habillé en 2 scds pour son interview: le noeud de cravate de travers, les manchettes decallees: c est trop drôle!!! Quand on dit que les chausseurs sont les plus mal chaussés…
Dang y’all hating big. So what if he wasn’t a designer in the drawing aspect. He had the mind & vision that many that can draw lack. Stop hating on someone who made it out. You can’t buy style
?? A designer... let's be honest folks, he did not design the tie, the polo top, jeans or anything else in fact, he did not DESIGN anything he sold. He did not even reinvent anything, he simply COPIED the elegant clothes and lifestyle of the elite British aristocracy, (and later on, the clothes and lifestyle of the American cowboy) and sold it to Americans... that makes him a marketing genius and a shrewd business man, but Mr. Lipshitz was not and is not a 'designer' of clothing... everything he made had been designed by someone else, decades before him. But the clever marketing of his label as an expensive brand, made his clothes a desirable STATUS item... for those 'new money' Americans wanting to show off that they could afford to pay a lot of money for a simple turtle neck top or a basic tee shirt, (of course his clothes always had to have the logo shown in plain sight, to get everyone's attention and let the world know you had money.)
@@keithchegwin1222 Consider the difference between a 'cook' at a typical hamburger joint and a 'chef' at a fine dining restaurant... Ralph Lipshitz was a cook posing as a chef, selling expensive hamburgers to desperate people with more money than brains. Marketing his pretentious burgers to the masses that dream of eating with the classes, was his claim to fame and fortune.
the concept of elegance and sophistication is subjective.. he's not a fashion designer.. he's the biggest con men in the rag trade who ever live.. the couturier Balenciaga and Dior would be turning and spinning in their graves.. the men is just a tie and socks sale men who got lucky and made it big by exploiting people with bad inferiority complex's..
